was established on the farm adjoining that of Arsenaults. and the greedy Briton. intolerant of his French neighbour. wished to evict him somewhat after the manner of the Briton of to-day in Ireland. Taking advantage of the absence of arsenault and of the mild character of the Acadian woman. the brave Briton caused his wife to write a threatening notice which he affixed to the barn door with a pitchfork. This notice set forth that if the family of Arsenault did not move away from St. Eleanors that very day. the pitchfork would be run through them as it was run through the paper. This notice was graphic and:£ruck terror into the heart of Mrs. Arsenault who fled with her children to Egmont Bay. leaving behind nuch that their late neighbour found extremely useful. However, good fortune attended the evicted 'Joe League and a half'. He prospered. and his comfortable house is still remembered by several gentlemen of Charlottetown who enjoyed his kindly hospitality.

As the nickname borne by him is generally used when speaking of him it may not be out of place to give some account of how it came to be bestowed on him. On" one occasion in the days of Nhlpec's prosperity as a shipping port. an English vessel bound for Phlpec put into Rustico Harbour in search of a pilot. Joseph Arsenault of St. Eleanors happened to be in Rustico on business at the time and volunteered to conduct the vessel to its desired haven. He knew but very few words of English and of those few he did not quite understand the significance. The captain and crew of the vessel found the voyage longer than they expected and kept asking the pilot Frenchman, 'How far are we fronnbhlpec.‘ To this Joe always nade answer. 'A league and a half.“ The query was repeated several times at different stages of the route and invariably met with the same response. The morning after the arrival of the ship in halpec the captain and a merchant of the port were walking on the wharf and met Arsenault. "Hello! there's 'Leasue and a half". said the captain and the name adhered henceforth to Joseph Arsenault of St. Eleanors.

The large and curious promontory known as Cape Egmont is interesting to geologists on account of the great variety of stones to be found there. The sweep

of the Bay from its red rocks to the frowning bluffs of Cape West is very fine.
